......

"Someone. Someone's coming. ”

"Give me something to eat!"

In the secret room, Su Ling has been locked up for three days, and during these three days, no one has paid attention to Su Ling, not even a mouthful of water.

Su Ling wailed in despair for a long time, but still did not usher in a turnaround.

It won't be long before he starves to death here.

Man is dying, and wailing becomes endless curses.

"Su Muci, you stinky bitch.... Come to a sticky end. Slut! ”

"Slut, I knew I would sell you to the Qinglou, dead slut!"

The cursing seemed to be the motivation for Su Ling to live, allowing him to survive for a long time.

Yu Zhi walked into the secret room, he urged Zu Anbang to find Su Ling, and he was also waiting for Su Ling's father Su Rongxing's reaction.

"It seems that Su Gongzi is still very energetic, and he has been scolding for so long." Yu Zhi said.

Su Ling raised his head weakly and said in surprise: "Yu... Yu Zhi? ”

At this moment, Su Ling seemed to have figured out everything.

"It's you, it's you. From beginning to end, it was you and Su Muci who conspired, I said how could Su Muci have such courage, it turned out that you were standing behind her. You adulterers and adulteresses......"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Zhi raised his foot and kicked Su Ling away.

"If you don't want to live, it doesn't matter if you are locked up for a few more days, and it doesn't matter if you starve to death. Anyway, no one knows that I tied you up. Yu Zhi said lightly.

Su Ling came to his senses in an instant, crawled in front of Yu Zhi, and begged for mercy in a panic: "Lord Yu, I was wrong, I was wrong. Please spare me! ”

Yu Zhi looked down at Su Ling indifferently and said, "Where did those black powder and night ghost sources come from?" ”

Su Ling's scalp was numb coldly, and he said hesitantly: "The black powder was made by my father and asked me to prepare it secretly, as well as those ordnance and food." But my dad didn't tell me what these were for. Just let me send these things to Kyoto. The source of the night ghosts... What's that? ”

"Don't fill me with garlic, there are several chests of black powder that hide the source of the night ghost. Do you dare to say you don't know what that thing is? Yu Zhi said.

Su Ling revealed a thoughtful look, and suddenly realized, and said: "My father said that there are extremely important things in it, and if it is exposed, you will definitely die." But I don't know what the source of the night ghost is. ”

Yu Zhi looked at Su Ling's appearance as if he was not lying, and then asked, "Who will hand over these things to Kyoto?" ”

Su Ling looked at Yu Zhi and shook his head blankly. "My father said that someone would answer when the time came, but he didn't say who it was."

The transportation of black powder and ordnance to Kyoto was undoubtedly to the detriment of Kyoto. Even without the source of the night ghosts, these ordnance and black powder would be enough to equip 5,000 men and horses.

If someone secretly raised 5,000 soldiers and horses, it would be tantamount to putting a bomb in Kyoto.

And if the source of the night ghost breaks out, the people of Kyoto will not be able to withstand the power of the source of the night ghost and lose their minds, and eventually Kyoto will fall into chaos and become a purgatory on earth.

Yu Zhi threw out all the doubts in his heart, but Su Ling knew very little.

Su Ling pushed everything on Su Rongxing's head, maybe he really only knew this.

However, Su Ling confessed to Zu Anbang. Zu Anbang's position as the county guard was also obtained through Su Rongxing's relationship.

The secrets of officialdom that Su Ling knew made Yu Zhi feel that the officialdom in Nanzhou was becoming more and more interesting.

"Write down everything you just said and put your handprints on it." Yu Zhi said.

Su Ling looked at Yu Zhi with despair in his eyes. If this confession had been submitted, he would have been beheaded.

Yu Zhi threatened: "If you don't write, you will die here soon." If you tell the truth, I will be the first to sue and save your life. ”

Half an hour later, Yu Zhi walked out of the secret room, and he already knew almost everything he should know.

In the courtyard outside the secret room, Su Muci was waiting for Yu Zhi.

This is a manor outside the city of Sioux, and it is the property of the Su family. After Su Muci took over the property of Su Rongsheng's father and son, this villa became a secret stronghold.

Su Muci sat on the edge of the tea table, like a good wife and mother, skillfully brewing and pouring tea.

Yu Zhi put Su Ling's confession on the table and said, "Your Su family's son-in-law is really pampered, and he will be recruited after being hungry for three days, but there is no need to make any effort." ”

Su Muci smiled lightly and responded: "Su Ling is treacherous and intelligent, never makes loss-making transactions, and his business in Nanzhou is very well managed. However, there are also many habits of the sons of big families, who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and it is just human nature. ”

Yu Zhi pointed to the accusation. "The second room of the Su family will soon be imprisoned, and you will be able to take over all the Su family's properties at that time. The explosion of Huanyi Building was done by Zu Anbang, and someone will take his place in a few days. ”

"As for your father and your brother......"

Speaking of this, Yu Zhi listened and looked at Su Muci.

Su Rongsheng and Su Sui are Su Muci's relatives, they once betrayed Su Muci, and Su Muci should also decide the ending of the other party.

Su Muci also looked at Yu Zhi, and the eyes of the two met.

Yu Zhi said calmly: "I think this matter is still up to you to decide." How they end up is also up to you. ”

"Childe believes me?" Su Muci asked.

Yu Zhi nodded seriously.

Su Muci put down the teacup in his hand, his eyes glowed with a little light, as if he remembered something a long time ago.

"When I was a child, my father liked Su Sui more, and all the delicious and fun things were left for Su Sui. So I worked very hard, learned business, learned from women, and learned everything I could learn in the Sufu Academy, hoping to make my father look at me a few more times. Unfortunately, there was not even a hint of praise for my efforts. Sometimes, I feel like I'm not his own. ”

"Growing up, in front of me, he generally had the appearance of a loving father, and only I knew that it was all a disguise. On the day I got married, I saw him smiling happily. I thought he had found me a good family. After all, there is some father-daughter relationship. Now it seems that he should be happy that he has exchanged me for the position of county warden of Sioux City. ”

"My daughter has been raised so much, and she finally has a use."

Su Muci smiled bitterly, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"Perhaps, he never thought of me as his daughter."

Yu Zhi sighed slightly in her heart, putting aside her life experience, her experience was even more miserable than mine. Although my parents were not there, my aunt never wronged me. But her father was obviously by his side, but he never had the slightest love.

Yu Zhi got up, stood beside Su Muci, and gently held Su Muci by his side.

Su Muci held Yu Zhi's hand and said softly, "Fortunately, I met Gongzi." ”

Yu Zhi was also not polite, and said cheekily: "Do you think you are lucky?" ”

Su Muci burst into tears and laughed, and said coquettishly: "What the son said is that the temperament of the prince is similar to that of the chivalrous people who travel the rivers and lakes, and it is not like those sons from high-ranking families. ”

Su Muci paused for a few moments, and her gaze and expression became extremely resolute again. She had already figured out the past, and she had thought about the future.

Su Muci knew that everything he had was brought by the young man in front of him.

It was he who pulled himself out of the misery of the past.

"What Su Sui did, after all, was corrupt and bent the law, harming many people. Therefore, I will send my father and Su Sui to a small town and let them die there. I think they would be happy to live rather than be imprisoned and exiled. ”

Yu Zhi didn't speak, only listened to Su Muci continue: "Zhou Hu and the five of them, I will hire them to Su Mansion." They are loyal and trustworthy. And Tuan Tuan, I will raise her well. She was also lucky to meet Childe. Otherwise, I don't know whether I would have starved to death on the official road or been abducted by human traffickers. ”

Yu Zhi was slightly surprised by what Su Muci said, these words seemed to be saying goodbye.

Soon, Yu Zhi figured it out again, sighed, and said, "It's really annoying to talk to a smart woman. ”

Su Ling confessed to Zu Anbang, and the next thing is not difficult to investigate. The commander of the Sioux City Army has settled down.

The banditry has long since subsided. Yu Zhi also has to continue to patrol Nanzhou.

Yu Zhi looked down at Su Muci in his arms and asked, "You already know that I am leaving?" ”

Su Muci nodded. "Childe still has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. I've been in Sioux City for more than a month, and now that it's over, I should be leaving. ”

"It's not as easy as you can see it when you go south from Kyoto." Yu Zhi said, "There are some things that you know that will put you in danger. After you take control of the Su family, it is also a guarantee for you, but you also have to be careful. ”

Su Muci didn't understand the danger that Yu Zhi was talking about, the court was dangerous, the undercurrent was turbulent, and there were some things that she couldn't interfere with.

"Since it's dangerous, Childe should also be careful." Su Muci instructed. "The concubine will wait for the son in Suzhou City."

......

It's been more than a month since the south, and Sioux City has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Yu Zhi also discovered countless secrets in one turmoil after another.

Behind the city in the mountains is the palace of the king of Chu, the source of the mutated beast and the terrifying night ghost...... All traces show that there is an inextricable connection between the Xiang Ji of the King of Chu and the night ghosts.

Two letters were sent from Sioux City to Kyoto.

One was presented to the Chengming Hall of the Imperial Palace, and the other was sent to the Qiu Mansion.

The decree was soon delivered to Sioux City.

Zu Anbang was imprisoned, and he never imagined that the county guard would be imprisoned before he became addicted.

The wall fell and everyone pushed it.

Many of Zu Anbang's past were also found out one by one, and he was sentenced to death, which was more than enough.

The vacancy of the county guard of Sucheng County gave Su Sui hope again. As everyone knows, Su Sui and Su Rongsheng were also imprisoned with Zu Anbang.

Su Muci only took out a small part of the incriminating evidence provided by Su Ling, and sent the father and son to prison.

After being imprisoned for a few days, the two were dismissed together and returned to Su Mansion.

As for Su Rongxing, after hearing the holy decree from Kyoto, Su Rongxing disappeared.

And Su Ling was like You Yuanju on the way to Kyoto, and there was no trace.

Everything that happened made Yu Zhi feel more and more weird.

On this day, Su Muci asked Yu Zhi to go to the Su Mansion, saying that the old lady of the Su family who lived in the mansion wanted to see him.
